For over a quarter century, innovative humorist Dirck Toll has performed unique shows combining the the immediacy of theater, the adventurousness of performance art, the intelligence of literature, and the energy of stand-up comedy. Toll deftly uses words and movement to single-handedly act out multi-character stories of mind-jolting humor, taking the audience to unexpected places with curious people in surprisingly unusual situations.

And for over a decade, Toll has had his share of ticket sales directly paid to charitable organizations. Does he think this makes him “special” or “better” than “everybody else”? Probably. Nevertheless, it’s money in the bank for not-for-profits, and if you or someone you know would like him to perform to benefit your environmental advocacy, social justice, or arts organization, contact dtollhq@gmail.com right away.
